Minister Grimaldi Explains His Gov
ment's Position.
ROME, June 25.-In the Chamber of Dep
uties to-day Signor Cavalletti, an Extrem-
list, attacked the government for its refusal
to take part in the exhibition which it is
proposed to hold in Paris in 1889. He at
tributed the refusal to Italy's alliance with
the central powers and her aversion to re-
publican France and the revolution from
which Italian liberty sprang.
Minister Grimaldi replied that the gov
eminent was not influenced by political
considerations in refusing to take part in
the exhibition. At moment when all
nations were seeking to protect themselves
by heavy customs barriers it was useless to
join in such project.
The government was DESTROYS of cordial
relations with France, and had twice tried
to conclude a treaty of commerce with that
country, but on both occasions the French
government rejected the Italian proposals.
Signor Crispi, supporting Signor Grimaldi,
denied that Italy owed her liberty to the
revolution of 1879. The revolution in Eng
land and America preceding the French re-
volution he said, had been more advantage

Queen:
| am anxious to express to my people my
warm thanks for the kind-more than kind-re-

Westminster Abbey with all my children and
grandchildren. The enthusiastic reception |
met with then, as well as on all those eventful

anxiety Of fifty long years twenty
two of which We're spent in untroubed happi-
ness, shared and cheered by my beloved hIls-
band, while an equal number were full of sor-
rows and trials borne without his sheltering arm
and wise help, have been appreciated by my
people. This feeling and a sense of duty
toward my dear country and my subjects who
are so inseparably bound up with my life will
encourage rue in my task, often a very difficult
and arduous one. during the remainder of my
life. The wonderful order preserved ON this &C
cason and the good behaviour of the enormous
multitudes assembled merit my highest admira-
ton, That God may protect and ahundantly
bless my country is my fervent prayer
